Streamlines collaboration across teams and has a straightforward setup process
The platform initiates a series of processes to complete the sale, which may involve ordering equipment, providing services, and tracking necessary activities. The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team. Compared to my experience working with HubSpot, which excelled in presales and marketing but lacked integration with ERP and post-sales processes, NetSuite CRM+ stands out for its ability to streamline collaboration and information sharing across teams. It facilitates post-sales engagement by effectively providing visibility into the bill of materials and assigning responsibilities. The platform is not highly customizable like Salesforce. However, it offers sufficient flexibility for our requirements. I can easily create different views and reports and add widgets to my home screen as needed. I rate it an eight out of ten.
MARIA PILAR CANDA - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved customer service and post-sales support saves time
The solution could be more affordable as it's quite expensive for some organizations, particularly middle-sized companies. Additionally, finding technical talent for improving the solution is challenging. Configuring Flows in Salesforce Service Cloud is very difficult. There are very few technical people in the market capable of implementing all the flows that clients need at this moment. It's primarily a matter of talent limitation, and flow is the technical mechanism of Salesforce Service Cloud for process automation. In general, while they have the knowledge and help solve problems, finding the right person to address specific issues is very challenging.

Pros

"The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team."
"Very scalable solution that provides customer relationship management, sales, and marketing functions. It's very straightforward to set up, and it supports multi-subsidiary organizations."
"NetSuite CRM+ helps us provide customer support and track schedules for field service."
"We use the product for standard CRM functions like email marketing, account management, scheduling customer profiles, and marketing materials, and for integration with the Suite Commerce."
"We used Salesforce Service Cloud for CRM (customer relationship management) cases and general sales cases."
"We are very happy with the support team from Salesforce."
"We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management."
"The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a user-friendly and flexible CRM tool that provides good accessibility and security."
"Salesforce accelerates time to market and streamlines workflows through automation. Integrating with other software systems, such as HR or ERP platforms, allows for seamless data exchange and enhances efficiency."
"The interface is quite user-friendly."
"The main benefit of Salesforce Service Cloud is that everything is in the cloud. We can track the entire customer journey from lead to account or opportunity. The CRM is in the cloud, while the financial transactions are in NetSuite. By integrating these applications, we get a complete view of the business. Some integrations are event-driven, while others are batch integrations that run at scheduled times. We also build reports using our in-house analytics tool to help leadership make decisions."
 

Cons

"What could be improved in NetSuite CRM+ is its UI, because it's ugly. When you compare it to the Salesforce UI, the UI in Salesforce, particularly its reporting, looks better."
"The product needs to improve the warehouse management feature."
"NetSuite's field service automation should be updated. We should be able to fully automate the assignment of service orders to technicians."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating AI functionality to provide intuitive assistance."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and enhanced."
"It is kind of a struggle to get a report that shows something you want it to show."
"The solution's integration with the main ERP is a little cumbersome."
"The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper."
"We're seeing a lot of automation and AI enhancements for improvements. This helps answer simple questions without manual intervention, saving time. We can improve by automating more of our solution-building process. Salesforce Service Cloud is a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. It's constantly evolving, and we're always looking for ways to improve our use. The cloud services we use include CRM (Salesforce), financial (NetSuite), and people (Workday). These services are becoming more automated, with a lot happening in the AI space. We do a lot of modeling ourselves to find answers to questions, and our product team has introduced some AI enhancements."
"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great."
"The pricing of Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive compared to other solutions like our current SAP CRM, which is much cheaper."
"One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other tools, you have to pay for the NetSuite CRM+ module itself. You will pay a recurring fee regardless of how many users you have, then you will pay a fee per user, per month. Its cost is not a licensing cost per user, but a module cost and a user cost."
"It ultimately depends on the features and functionalities required for your specific use case."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive. I worked with ExactTarget over five years ago, and it was quite pricey then. Not everyone could afford it. Salesforce has different tiers for different kinds of users. It's expensive considering their features and services, but they offer best-in-class solutions."
"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"The price is too expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
